Dock Piling Repair in Ocean Springs, Mississippi
Deep South Marine Restoration protects waterfront structures on the Back Bay of Biloxi, Davis Bayou, and the Mississippi Sound. Ocean Springs dock owners trust our patent-pending system for long-term piling protection.
Ocean Springs Dock & Piling Restoration
Ocean Springs occupies a stretch of Mississippi coastline bounded by the Back Bay of Biloxi to the west and Biloxi Bay and the Mississippi Sound to the south. This waterfront geography gives residents access to some of the most scenic — and biologically demanding — waters on the Gulf Coast. The Back Bay in particular is notorious for its aggressive marine borer activity, with warm, enclosed waters that support dense Teredo shipworm populations year-round.
Davis Bayou, located within the Gulf Islands National Seashore on the Ocean Springs waterfront, offers a more protected environment but still sees consistent Limnoria and Teredo activity in its tidal reaches. Private docks along the Ocean Springs bayou system and Sound shoreline face the same biological pressures.
Deep South Marine Restoration brings our patent-pending piling wrap and concrete encapsulation system to Ocean Springs waterfront properties. Our free on-site inspection identifies which pilings can be protected and which may need replacement — and we're transparent about both.

Ocean Springs Dock Repair FAQ
Get answers to common questions about dock piling repair, protection, and restoration.
Yes — Deep South Marine Restoration services waterfront properties in Ocean Springs and throughout Jackson County, including docks on the Back Bay of Biloxi, Davis Bayou, Biloxi Bay, and the Mississippi Sound. We offer free on-site inspections for Ocean Springs area property owners.
The Back Bay of Biloxi — which borders Ocean Springs to the north and west — is one of the most biologically active environments for wood-boring organisms on the Mississippi Coast. Its enclosed, shallow, warm-water character makes it a prime habitat for Teredo shipworms. Davis Bayou, within Gulf Islands National Seashore, presents similar conditions. Properties along Front Beach and the Biloxi Bay shoreline also face open-water wave exposure.
Ocean Springs is within our regular Mississippi Gulf Coast service area. We service Harrison and Jackson County properties on a regular schedule and can typically offer same-week inspections. Call 985-200-2225 to schedule.
Properties within or adjacent to National Seashore boundaries may have additional permit considerations for new dock construction. However, piling repair, wrapping, and encapsulation of existing structures typically do not require the same permitting as new construction. We can advise on this during your free inspection.
In most cases, yes — as long as the piling cores retain structural integrity. Our free inspection evaluates each piling to determine whether it can be protected and extended in service life or whether replacement is necessary. Many older docks in Ocean Springs have pilings that appear damaged on the surface but retain a sound core that can be effectively encapsulated.
